We cannot emphasize this enough: children need to know it's safe to come to you with their pain, and that being vulnerable will not be met with punishment or rejection. They can trust that you are willing to own the hurt that you may have caused them. Many of us experienced the pain of not having the space to express the injuries we endured as children or for repairs to occur. Let's do better by our children. When we can learn to own our mistakes, and acknowledge the pain we've caused our children will learn to do the same in their relationships with others.
